“My images are reflections of those moments in time when light, form, and color fit. There is beauty in all aspects of life: landscapes, portraits, action, wildlife, and pure abstracts.  There is a magical instant when those elements come together in the viewfinder, the shutter clicks, and the moment is captured.”

“I am realizing that I am a “Discovery” shooter.  There is so much to explore and to see that I am constantly on the move.  I find that I don’t spend a lot of time in the iconic spots.  I’ll walk  down stream, over the hill, or back behind the trees.  I will drive up a jeep road at night, not completely sure where I am, pick a spot to sleep, and wake to whatever surprises me at first light.   I can find myself in an uninspiring pine hollow – or on a mesa overlooking a fantastic series of canyons and cliffs – it is all good.”
